• Inspired by the scenes in Dresden’s dance cafés, variety shows, and nightclubs, E. L. Kirchner developed a particular fascination with dance, which is reflected in his drawings, prints, and paintings.
• Spontaneously and immediately, the artist translates the dancers’ movements into an expressive drawing with just a few swift strokes.

• Similiar motifs appear, for example, in the painting “Panama Dancers” (1910, North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh), created around the same time.
